Ellie’s Take: Summer Decor Ideas Under $100

Since I’ve had a few back-to-back trips these last few weeks, I thought I’d have my new assistant, Ellie, write a guest post for the blog. I hope you enjoy this piece — she had a lot of fun putting this together!

Hey, y’all!  My name is Ellie Barber, and I am Alicia’s assistant. I’m 22 years old and from Charlottesville, Virginia. On a typical day, you can find me watching The Office with a very large coffee in hand or at work bringing home the bacon. I am so excited to be a part of the team here! I love all things bright and colorful, so what better way to introduce myself to you all than with a post about bright and bold summer decor.

Guys: I don’t write about sales that often. But, this Shopbop Sale is really good, and I shop it every time it comes around. Behold: the Shopbop Event of the Season Sale.

One of the reasons why I love Shopbop is because of the variety of products they offer: from budget-friendly brands such as Moon River, English Factory, and Wayf, to my mid-high end designer favorites, there’s always a million things that I want to add to my cart at Shopbop. This Shopbop sale is amazing because you get 20% off all orders under $500, and 25% off all orders above $500. So you could totally get 25% off that Tory Burch purse you’ve been eyeing, or those Hunter Boots that have been on your wishlist since forever.

Valentines Day Gift Ideas

Best Valentine's Day Gift Picks - Valentines Day Gift Ideas by popular DC style blogger Alicia Tenise

Shop Valentines Day Gift Ideas for Her:

 
Can you believe we’re a couple of weeks away from Valentine’s Day? This is the first time I’ve had a significant other for V-Day in 5 years, so I’ll have to admit: I’m a little rusty at picking out gifts for him. However, gifts for myself and gal pals? That’s something I’ve mastered over the years! 

I’ve gotten a few mailers from some of my favorite brands that would make perfect Valentines Day gift ideas this year. This new Caudalie Premier Cru Serum and these pretty little pair of Kendra Scott earrings from their Spring 2018 collection have been fabulous new additions to my closet and beauty counter. My birthday is two weeks after Valentine’s Day, so in the past, I’ve asked my boyfriends at the time not to make too big of a deal for V-Day. I usually like to go out to dinner and maybe catch a movie. This year, we’re going to Paris in March, so we’re not going to be exchanging gifts this year, but here are a few Valentines Day gift ideas if you are exchanging gifts with your gal pal, mom, or boyfriend this year!

The Best After Christmas Sales

Lauren James Velvet Sheridan Dress - The Best After Christmas Sales by Washington DC fashion blogger Alicia Tenise
Do you know what I love more than Black Friday Shopping? The Day After Christmas Shopping!

My mom and I have a tradition to head to the mall super early every December 26th so I can use some gift cards (aaaand maybe pick up a few things for myself/super last minute gifts!) The sales are unbeatable, and I typically see way better discounts on December 26th than on Black Friday. 

Here are a few of my favorite After Christmas sales this year — happy shopping, my friends!
